    These are some great free things to do in Edinburgh. I know when we went we did the Royal Mile, Arthurs Seat, Scotland National Museum and Greyfriars Kirkyard. Best thing, all free! Great video Shaun.

    As a kid my fav free thing to do in Edinburgh was, to go to the far right lift at the back of Jenners. Get in the lift by myself and press the top floor button (it was offices but worth it). The lift was wonky so it was like a fair ground ride, sent my head up and down.
    Small things and we were forsed to go to Edinburgh to see odd family and they were odd, so any escape.

    There are so many more free things to see.For example entrance to the Botanic Gardens is also free. Likewise so far as I recall, not only is the National Gallery free, but so too are not one, but two galleries of modern art and the Portrait gallery.

    I have the book The Ghost that Haunted Itself about The MacKenzie poltergeist. It is a pretty crazy story. I definitely want to go on one of those ghost tours too.

    I really want to visit Edinburgh (My wife and I (+2 kids) are flying in from Maryland at the end of March), but we're landing in Glasgow and renting a car to drive through Edinburgh. My biggest question is... where do I park?! We plan on going up to Inverness and down by Loch Ness, but want to spend a day or two touring the city before we move on. It also doesn't help that the only person we know in the U.K. who could help us out is down in Manchester and not available at that time.

    • @aidanwilson6035
      @aidanwilson6035 Před 10 měsíci +1

      Your best free options to park are the Ingliston Park & Ride next to the airport which has a tram stop beside it , an unlimited 'family day ticket' will only cost £10.50 for the tram & maroon ( mostly double decker !) buses , like most cities it is not easy to navigate with so many roads closed , one way systems & roadworks along with expensive parking , if you do decide to drive into the city i would park for free on the street just outside the East central parking zone area in Abbeyhill ( closest walk to the nearest tourist site is Holyrood Palace , Arthur's Seat hill & the Royal Mile will take about 15 minutes & you can still get the same family ticket on any bus ) , check online for the City of Edinburgh parking permit zone interactive map to find the right location. Enjoy your trip !

    It slimste binne minsken dy't enoarme hûnen of apen nei Edinburgh bringe en se dan op strjitte loslitte en net foar har soargje. In freon fan my naam in mandrill nei Skotlân en tocht dat it leuk wêze soe om it earne yn 'e stêd frij te litten. Hy die dat en der barde ek in ramp, de wearwolf iet it iene lyts famke op en sloech in oar slim mei in stielen stêf. Hy wie in baviaan dy't syn hiele libben trainearre wie om te deadzjen, en de ûnferantwurdlike keardel liet him normaal út 'e koai! Sokke minsken binne net wolkom yn Edingurgh.
